    As a borrower the funds from a finance company at 19 percent compounded daily is the better option because it charges lower rate.

    Explanation:

    APR = 19%

    Weekly Payment

    m = 365

    EAR = (1 + (0.19 / 365) ^365) - 1

    EAR = 0.2092

    EAR = 20.92%

    2.

    APR = 21%

    Weekly Payment

    m = 2

    EAR = (1 + (0.21 / 2) ^2) - 1

    EAR = 0.2210

    EAR = 22.10%
